Rebirth as a Cooking God

Night finally completely enveloped the Nakiri family house, and it was time for dinner.

Dojima Gin glanced up at Nakiri Senzaemon who was not far away. Senzaemon nodded vaguely, so Dojima Gin gave a light high-five to several maids who were performing a talent show in the small hall. Immediately stop playing and dancing, bow and exit.

Ms. Doris, please follow me. Dojima Gin stood up first and led everyone to the banquet living room.

Different from the scenery in the tea house and tea garden just now, after Doris sat down, she looked up and looked outside the sliding door. In the night, the mountains behind the moon were vaguely visible, and there was a kind of majestic and profound beauty.

Serving-

Alice Nakiri directed the maids, and at the same time, three middle-aged chefs followed her into the banquet room.

Alice pointed at the middle-aged man in the middle, Chef Akiyama, please tell me first. I mainly want to introduce which part of the dinner you are responsible for tonight and what dishes you cooked.

yes!

Everyone's attention focused on Chef Akiyama. He was a man who was unsmiling. He was stared at by Dojima Gin and Senzaemon but remained expressionless, saying: I am in charge of Japanese cuisine.

Alice interjected: I divided the dinner into three parts: Japanese food, Western food, and mixed food.

Dojima Gin and Erina nodded.

They knew Akiyama, he was an old face in the family, and this family had a history of serving the Nakiri family. Just like a new household, despite its low reputation, its cooking skills are very sharp.

Chef Akiyama had no reaction to Alice's interruption. After Alice finished speaking, he continued: I prepared three Japanese dishes tonight, 'Shrimp Ice Tray', 'Game Hot Pot', and 'Shojin Ryori' .”

At this time, the maid placed a large tray full of small bowls and pots on the dining table in front of Doris one by one.

Tonight’s dinner is an obvious meal sharing system. Everyone sat alone.

Shrimp ice tray?

Doris looked at the fresh shrimps placed side by side on an ice tray with great interest. There were three kinds of shrimps. There was a small plate stacked in the middle. There was half a lobster inside, and two other kinds of shrimps, two each.

Toyama white shrimp, Hokkaido striped shrimp.

And Ise Ebi, lobster!

Doris had an appropriately shocked look on her face. This is more of a polite reaction. Otherwise, how can this scene continue without showing any emotion?

Chef Akiyama nodded slightly and said: Toyama white shrimp, a specialty of Toyama Prefecture, is a top ingredient known as the 'Jewel of Toyama Bay'. Its softness and sweetness are the characteristics of this shrimp.

Hokkaido striped shrimp is the iconic product of Nosuke Bay. Although the autumn and spring striped shrimp are the most famous, the summer striped shrimp is still more attractive and has a softer texture than the autumn shrimp. In my opinion, this season The seasonal summer shrimp, soft and tender, is the best all year round. Ladies, you should try it, this is a very standard Japanese flavor.

Doris listened and peeled the shrimp to eat.

After Chef Akiyama briefly explained the third type of 'Ise Ebi' lobster, he silently left and let another chef speak.

Chef Kimura, who is also a middle-aged man in charge of the Western food section, has shiny hair and a well-groomed beard. The friendly smile on his face makes people think he is a gentleman.

It looks like Western food on the surface, but it's actually an improved cuisine.

For example, an ice cream served in an ancient bowl is steaming on the table and has a dreamy pure white color. But when you scoop it out with a spoon and eat it, you will find that it is actually just tofu.

That’s right, a bowl of tofu.

Kimura himself was quite confident and satisfied with his work. Watching Doris take a spoon and taste it, he said with a smile: People know that you can only eat authentic kaiseki cuisine in Kyoto, but they don't know that tofu cuisine It is also the gourmet business card of Kyoto. The tofu ice cream I made combines the 'deliciousness' and 'nutrition' of traditional tofu cuisine, and also absorbs the art of processing exquisite shapes of Western food, so what diners enjoy is beyond the tip of their tongues category.

good.

Doris frowned slightly, then recovered and commented with a smile.

When it comes to the 'combination' part, which is a combination of Japanese and Western food, Doris allowed the chef to introduce it, but she didn't move her chopsticks or spoon no matter what.

Alice Nakiri applauded, and the third chef reluctantly returned to the team and stood side by side with Akiyama and Kimura. His colleagues gave him a caring look, but could not open his mouth to encourage him.

Are you dissatisfied? Alice raised the corner of her mouth.

ha. Fortunately, I was smart enough to come up with a solution. Alice praised herself. She had already expected that this dinner would not be simple.

very satisfied.

Doris replied like this, but Alice stared, What, there's something wrong with this line! Shouldn't we seize the opportunity, stir up trouble, and come over with a fierce attack?

As the daughter of a certain king, Alice's label of scheming and scheming cannot be washed away.

“My favorite dishes are the ‘Game Hotpot’ and ‘Shojin Ryori’.”

Doris said softly: The 'Game Hotpot' is pure Japanese-style game. The ingredients are matched from the perspective of modern nutrition. They are high in nutrition and low in calories, making people feel at ease when eating.

And 'Shojin Ryori'...

Dojima Gin laughed heartily from the opposite side, Actually, this thing is Kyoto's vegetarian food.

Vegetarian? Doris suddenly wondered, No wonder it is a combination of vegetables, seaweed, and soy products, but when it tastes, it has a strong sense of Zen practice.

Chef Akiyama said: That's right. There are hundreds of temples in Kyoto, and believers call fasting days Shojin Days. The fasting meals and dishes on these days are naturally called Shojin cuisine. There is rice, there are vegetables, There is soup, which is plain and light, but not overly pursuit of taste and texture...

The words stopped here. At this time, a maid came in with a low body, came to Alice's side, and whispered. Alice's face was full of depression, and suddenly it cleared up, full of surprises, It's been brought here. ?

Yes.

“Then let’s serve it!”

The maid responded and left.

At this time, everyone including Dojima Gin, Doris, Erina, and Senzaemon, including the three chefs at the house, were all curious about Alice's preparations.

The maid came back again and again. When she came back, she was carrying a wooden tray with a large teapot on it.

Alice Nakiri saw the spout of the teapot steaming vaguely, and a hint of fresh fragrance seemed to penetrate into her heart from a distance, making her feel itchy. The girl couldn't help but think to herself: It is indeed Matsuba Crab's... The Supreme Dragon's Roar!

A wicked smile spread across his face.

She waved her hand to the maid to pour tea for everyone at the banquet. Each transparent goblet contained chopped mushrooms and boiling white clear soup. And Dojima Gin and Nakiri Senzaemon, whom Alice paid special attention to, were already in their positions, petrified and stunned.

Try it and see.

Alice said, and at the same time, a voice came in from outside.
